Prairienet (Higher-Fire) problems

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

This message is coming to you directly from me personally, Bro. Tyler,
for reasons of Prairienet listproc email type problems.  The list I used
to send this message out is from a "review" of the subscribers of the
that is approximately 2 weeks old (June 17, 1996).  If you know of someone 
that's been around since, please forward this message to them so they can be 
informed as well as you.... 

In summary, there's been Prairienet problems with the listproc and email
beginning last Friday or so.  That explains why there's been few postings
since and even the posts I approved on Sunday were somehow chewed up by the
machines there.  All I got back was an error notification to the listowners
about how it couldn't open up the subscriber list and expand the list of 
of subscribers for outgoing mail....  It was really peculiar...

As you probably have deduced by now, there's been much trouble
going on lately at prairienet.org (where the Higher-Fire list is
host).  This has caused a whole bunch of problems that have been
related to all email incomming- and outgoing- to Prairienet.  It's
resulted in a complete re-install of one of Prairienet's machines
that functions as the WWW and internet mail servers for Prairienet.

Included, you'll find the latest message that they (the folks at
Prairienet) have sent us (the information providers/owners) to keep
us informed as to what's going on with Prairienet and their problems

-> Messages which have been sent to lists and aren't bouncing (moderated list

-> 
-> E-mail to the admin address - listproc@prairienet.org - is bouncing again.

-> per se.  The recent total reinstallation of system software on one of our
-> computers last Friday is not making it any easier to diagnose the problem.
-> 
-> We don't know how long the listproc is going to be down, it may be a few
-> hours or a few days.
-> 
-> We apologize for the downtime and the inconvenience this is causing the
-> thousands of subscribers to our 60+ lists, not to mention the listowners who
-> have to deal with floods of e-mail from distraught subscribers.
-> 
-> I'll keep you posted on our progress.

Sorry for the delays....
